DUBOURG, Matthew.
Views of the Remains of Ancient Buildings in Rome, and Its Vicinity.
Views in Rome seems to be the first book that the artist produced entirely on his own; it consists of 26 aquatints engraved by Dubourg 'with a Descriptive and Historical Account of Each Subject.' In his Introduction to Views in Rome, Dubourg claims that 'the historical and descriptive sketches which accompany these views have been derived from the most recent, and probably the most judicious authorities'.
